Reality TV star and polygamist Musa Mseleku is set to introduce his fifth wife in the upcoming season of Uthando neS’thembu. After years of convincing his four wives to accept a new addition to their family, Musa has confirmed that season 8 will offer a fresh dynamic with the introduction of his fifth wife. The highly anticipated season will premiere on Wednesday, 22 January 2025.
Fans were left intrigued at the end of the previous season when a teaser hinted at the arrival of wife number five. While her face was shown, her identity and background remained a mystery. Season 8 promises to reveal more, with the first two episodes showcasing the new wife and her integration into the family. Musa shared that viewers will witness the growth of his family as they navigate challenges together.
This season will focus not only on the arrival of wife number five but also on the family dynamics, particularly how Musa and his wives handle their differences. Musa emphasized that the show will highlight the family’s evolution and how they work through difficult times. “We will see wife number five finding her place in the family,” he said.
With 24 episodes slated to air twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays, season 8 will dive deeper into the drama and the complexities of polygamy. The first two episodes will air back-to-back on 22 January, at 8 pm and 9:30 pm, giving viewers a deeper look into the Mseleku family’s journey.
Shirley Adonisi, the Director of Local Entertainment Channels at MultiChoice, expressed excitement about the upcoming season. “We listened to your feedback and are thrilled to offer more episodes than in previous seasons. With two episodes each week, there will be no more agonizing cliff-hangers,” she said. Fans can look forward to an engaging and dramatic season, as the show explores how Musa manages the delicate balance of family life with multiple wives and children.
